A power cut in our area has led to a few people losing devices and appliances. One elderly couple's Gen2 Starlink router no longer powers on. They rely on it for their VoIP landline number. There are a few spots on their property that their cellphones work, but not to the level of showing signal bars. From Googling around I haven't seen mention of a user serviceable fuse, has anyone had similar issues that they've been able to resolve? Any educated guesses on the likelihood of the dish being OK?

We're in Northland.

 

 

I carry parts and a full kit, but a bit far for me to come sorry. Starlink are pretty good at supplying replacement kit, but sometimes a few hoops to get through with there ticketing system. 

 

They often ask you the same thing several times before they agree to send replacement, so be concise and patient 😉
